OPPOSITION TO THE PROPOSED TREATY
In vest ItfiillnK the Working * of the Klght-

News nnd Uosslu from Washington.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , March 8. At fliM
this afternoon tbo senate , on motion of Sena
tor Shormau , clmlrnun of the commltto ) on
foreign relations , wont Into oxoiiutlve ses
sion to consider the arbitration treaty re
ceived today from the president. There were
no copies of tbo correspondence showing the
various stops in the negotiations loading up
to the signature of the treaty , and the presi
dent's letter , which came with the docu
ments , was slmpiy ono of transmlttal , with
out suggestion or recommendation. The
text of the treaty was read In full and
& concise explanation of lu terms and ot
the necessities of the case was made in bo-
halt ot the administration by ono of the sena
tors. When ho bad concluded there followed
an animated debate and an acrimonious dis
cussion ,
Will Moot vfHH rormlduhlo Opposition.
It was apparent tbat the treaty will ro-
colvo severe and formidable opposition in Its
'
consideration. This opposition took several
forms , and there were at leastthroo different
views of the subject. On the one hand a
| body . of senators resented bitterly the Idea ot
ratifying any arbitration treaty. Tboy hold
that the right of the Unltod States to waters
acquired from Hussla was bo.vond question ,
and that It would bo a cowardly surrender on
the part of this government for It to consent
to submit Its right to the uncertain decision
of foreign arhltn.tors.
A considerable number of the senators ap
peared to believe that the approval of the
treaty would bo a distinct gain in the diplo
matic battle , inasmuch as Itcommitted Great
Britain to the recognition of the fact that
the United States had acquired jurisdiction
over the waters of Boring sea under the
Russian title , a point which she has here
tofore steadily refused to allow.
Henotvnl of n Modus Vivendi Demanded.
A third party thought that the treaty
should not bo approved finally without tbo
addition of a clause renewing the modus vl-
vondl. Some of tbosenators took the ground
that while tbo treaty might bo safely ratified
by the senate the administration should be
instructed , in the event of the continued re
fusal of the British government to Insure the
protection ot the seals during the course of
the arbitration , to order the vessels of the
United States to seize every offending ves
sel , without , regard to nationality. They an
nounced that if trouble resulted from tbo
adoption of tins courca tboy wcro prepared
fully to support the administration In taking
all necessary a ions to give effect to the exist
ing laws of tbo Unltod States for the protec
tion of the seals.
After the discussion had progressed In this
strain for an hour , on motion of the chair
man the treaty was referred to the 'commit
tee on foreign"relations. . Meanwhile the in
terest of tbo senators has been fully aroused ,
and it is probable that when the document is
reported tmck from the committee the strug
gle will bo renewed at the point whcro it
closed today.
EIGHT IIOUH l./YW. .
Investigations of Its Workings by the
HOUHO Coniinlttco on Labor.
WASIIINOTON , D. ( X , March 8. The subcom
mittee of the house commlttoo on labor today
began an investigation of the subject of the
eight hour law , in what manner and. to what
extent the law had been evaded and disre
garded by those charged wlih its enforce
ment , as well as to whether any convict labor
is used by the government in the construc
tion of public buildings.
General Casey of the engineer corps be
lieved that the present law should bo con
tinued in force and.that its effect would bq
beneficial to all portions of the country. No
convict labor was employed on any work
under his charge and had not boon to his
knowledge for years. There had boon re
quests , ho sail ] , to have convicts employed
on government work bv seine persons in au
thority , but they were Invariably refused by
the War department. Sometimes the mon
worked over eight hours per dav , but they
did it willingly and wore paid extra for tbo
over time.
Thinks It 11 Great lilesalng.
Commodore Folger , chief of tbo'ordnance
bureau of the Navy department , said it
would bo a crcut blessing If the eight hour
system could bo made universal. The labor
and the work would bo vastly superior. At
the Washington navy yard bo was turning
out cheaper and better guns under eight
hours per day than contractors were doing
under a ton-hour system. Commodore Folgor
said'ho never worked his men moro than
eight hours , except In an emergency and he
added that there had always been an emerg
ency sluco ho has been In the Navy depart
ment. [ Laugbtor.J There had been the
Itata matter , the Italian affair and the
Chilian war. Ho had the armament nnd
batteries ready for ship builders so that they
could not assert tbat tbo government dolayc'd
their work. Since the Chilian peace all men
had worked olght hours. For him , the
Chilian war lasted four months. No con
vict labor was used by him , either In the
form of materials or otherwise. The commodore -
modore sold ho divided the men in the navy
yards between the two political parties as
far as possible.
WII.I. INSIST ON A 'MODUS VIVIJNIU.
Determination Itciirlicd by the Cabinet or
th llerlng Sea I'lxherles Matter.
WASIIINOTON , D , C. , March 8. The cabl
not meeting.today was of n most Importanl
character , notwithstanding the absence < al
Secretaries Blolno , Foster und Noblo. The
entireVeislon of two hours was devoted to
the consideration of the Bering sea question
in general , und to Lord Salisbury's last cum
muulcation In opposition to a renewal pf the
modus vlvondl of last year In particular.
Tbo president and every member of tbo cabi
net present participated In the discussion
and the opinion was unanimous that the posi
tion assumed by tbo British government was
untenable and not justified by the condition
of the scaling industry. The argument was
made tbat tbo opening of tha Boring spa for
the present Reason to the indiscriminate
slaughter of peals by poachers would un
doubtoaly result fli serious injurv If no
total destruction of 'the industry , and thus
defeat thu very object sought In the negotta
tious between tbo two countries ,
.Must Muko Homo Arrangement.
It was therefore decided to Insist on t
modus vlvondl somewhat similar to that ol
last year , having for Us object the protection
of the seal fisheries by tbo joint action of
( Jroat Britain nnd the Unltod States pending
tbo settlement of the questions at Issue by
arbitration.
Sir Julian Pauncefoto , the British mluU
'tor , bad u conference with Mr. Wharlon.who
Is acting secretary of state , late tMs utter
noon. It u Inferred that bo was apprised ol
the president's earnest desire for on agree
mnt between tbo two countries , respecting
tlio present sealing season , that will preserve -
servo tbo statu quo of matters until tbo man ;
question can bo arbitrated. This govern
ment. Is desirous of reaching a prompt and
permanent conclusion in regard to the fish'
ones , in order that It may bo ofllclally promulgated
mulgatod in advance of the departure of tbo
scaling fleets now fitting out in this country
and Canada.

OMAHA AND LINCOLN.
Cities Chosen for the Meeting of Iho Demo
cratic state Conventions.
The democratic state central commlttoo
mot last evening In a sequestered nook at the
Merchants and adjourned without bloodshed
nftor practicing wild gesticulations and lurid
oratory for two long hours.
Charles Ogdcn , the suave and smooth
shaven , occupied the chair as of yore , nnd
Carroll S. Montgomery interspersed the oftl-
clal record of the proceedings with an occa
sional line of black and white Intelligence.
Jim Hubble , who is so much of u democrat
that ho Insists on llvlne In Jefferson county ,
was there , because from force of long hnbtl
lie could not stay nwny. And then again ,
M < r. Hubble has n sort of a hankering to cote
to the national convention as a delegate , and
ho wanted to ho the first to break tbo sad in
telligence to his brethren. Ho has figured It
out tbat ho can no ! , bo elected delegate from
his district , and mua . therefore coat largo or
not nt all. There was no ono In town last
night who was hard hearted enough so dis
courage Ins aspirations.
Jim North of Columnus , who Is prone to
pose as n disciple of Jackson on the slightest ,
provocation , was among tbo missing , and his
chair was draped with fresh paint.
J. G. P. Hlldobrand of St. Paul and John
Shorvln of Fremont occupied all the space
allotted to them.
Governor Boyd acted as chorister , and
when ho sounded the "honest dollar" chord
on the financial tuning fork It awoke a re
sounding response of harmony in which free
stiver discords were scarcely distinguishable.
It didn't take very long to fix the Umo of
the next state convention for Wednesday ,
April 13 , nnd at 7 o'clock on the ovcntug of
that date the representatives of Nebraska
democracy will meet In this city to select
delegates to the national convention in Chi
cago. The representation will bo om for
every 150 votes east for secretary of state In
1RIK ) , tbo same basis as governed the conven
tion at Grand Island , September 17 , 1S01.
This will provide for about 500 delegates.
Thu convention to nominate state ofllcers
will bo hold in Lincoln on a date hereafter to
bo agreed upon.
Now Coniinlttcomen Niuneil.
The commlttoo decided to fill nil vacancies
in its ranks , and benutor John Mattes , jr. ,
was named to fill the vacacy caused by the
death of Godfrey I. Bluohdorn of the Third
district ,
T. F. Smith of McCool Junction will fill
the place made vacant by the resignation of
George F. Corcoran in the Second district.
Dr. J. W. Bradstmw of Superior will stop
into the shoes of Mr. Moore , who lias moved
out of the Twenty-sixth district , and the
chairman will xvait until ho hears from some
of tbo resident democrats before appointing
a successor to Mr. Leftwlck , who has re
moved his place of residence from tbo Thir
tieth district. .
A commlttoo appointed to prepare memo
rial resolutions touching the death of Mr.
Bluchdorn presented the following , which
Was adopted :
Whorosis , It has pleased Almighty God to
remove from this llfo our late worthy member.
I'rrif. Godfrey I. Illnchdoru , of the Third dis
trict ot this state- ; therefore be It
Resolved , That In bis death the democratic
state central committee deplores the loss of
an ublo and active co-jvorkur , a true democrat
und a worthy cltl/on : and ,
Kc.solvod , That n copy of these resolutions
bo Hpread upon tbo rucords of thin committee.
nnd nlso that a copy ot the same bo sent to the
family ot the deceased.
After a lengthy debate tbo following resq-
lution was also adopted :
Kcsolvo'd , That the call for thu stale con *
ventlon bo made for tbo election of sixteen
delegates to the national convention to beheld
hold at ( Jhleapo , Jnno l. 1692 , In accordance
with the call of , the national committee.
x
There was a general expression of senti
ment in favor of an honest dollar , nnd wlillo
it is probable that the Nebraska contingent
yvlll go to Chicago unlnstructed , It is
violating no confldenco to soy that
free silver will bo sidetracked long
before that city Is reached. The unlimited
coinage idea will never bob up in tbo national
convention if It depends on the delegation
from this state to take It there.
On motion of Julius Meyer. Governor Boyd
and Hon. John A. McSbano were made hon-
ororv members of the state central commit
tee , and then the members went out to again
encounter the buddings of a chilly and very
wet world.
They will hold their next experience meet
ing In hls city at 4 o'clock on the afternoon
of April 13.

DBS MOINES , la. , March 8. At 11:15 the
Gatch bill to roguluto the sain and manufac
ture of intoxicating liquors came un ns the
special order In the senate. Senator Finn took
the Uoor aud spoke agalust the Gatch bill. Ho
brielly reviewed the career of prohibition and
denied that sentiment bad changed on tha
subject since tbo amendment to tbo constitu
tion years ago. Ho claims that as Boles wtU
minority covornor , his election did n08
mean that a majority of the pcoplo of thd
state were iu favor of license. The claim
was nlso made that as a majority of the legis
lature' "was republican , the pcoplo of ths
state still wanted prohibition. Taking up
the statement of Gatch that prohibition bad
lost over 70,000 .votes to the party
in the state , the senator denied the truth Of
It because tbo party never had moro than
40,000 majority In the state at any tlmo. Bo *
sides this , be considered Boies xvas elected
bv the stand taken on national instead ot
state Issues.
"Ono question I have asked in vain , " said
Finn , "and that Is , What man. woman of
child Is going to bo bonolittod by the passage
of this bill ) So far no senator has an *
fcwerod. "
Senator Finn rebuked Senator Gatch for
going back ou bis party platform and compli
mented the democrats for lldolltv to their
promises. Ho then made u comparison of the
operation of license and prohibition , showing
that the license law was not well enforced ,
Answered l > y Senator ( iiitrh ,
Senator Gatch followed and devoted him
self to showing by oftlclal figures that the
defeat of the republicans was due to prohi
bition. Regarding tbo question of constitu
tionality , he wasporfectiy satlstloj It was
proper legislation , speaking of the party
platform , ho said , though bo had been elected
ou a strong prohibition platform , ha wns jus-
tilled In turning aside because the party had
changed Its position on the question slnco
that time and had been twlco defeated on the
prohibition issue.
In support of his position Gatch read extracts -
tracts from tbe leading republican papers of
the stuto and assorted that his stand was
endorsed bS the bast men in the party , Con
tinuing , Gatch sutd : "Tho senator from
Taylor ( Finn ) Invites me , and I thlnu ho in
cludes Senator Brewer , to walk out of the
party. I voted the republican ticket long
before tbo senator from Taylor was politi
cally born , and I Intend to remain with the
party until long after supb ns Finn have de
serted il when it shall have mot with mil-
fortune. "
'llenult of the Vote.
Gatch moved tbo adoption of the amend
ments. On the first amendment making tha
number of voters' names on tbo petition ,
necessary , one-fifth instead of two-fifths , the
vote stood 28 to 21 , Knglo being absent , and
Gatch , Brewer nnd Harsh , republicans , vet
ing for a change. Tbo other amendments
wore then adopted ,
Kelly moved the bill bo engrossed and read
the third tlmo tomorrow , 1'orry took tbe
floor und said thu prorosod bill would bo lit
tle better than prohibition , and bo would vote
for It wt'ti great reluctance.
Part of the design of the republican party
is that the question shall bo taken out of
politics and the burden unloaded on the
democrats. Aflor this Gatcb bill was
adopted , as n substitute for the original
bill , tbo rules were suspended and the bill
read a third tlmo. This brought the bill
down to passage and the Interest was Intense.
And the Hill 1'asscil.
Senator Boltor said be doubted tbo con

measure became a law it would present an
flnomoly unequalled on the statute books of
